Will you love it and watch it as long as you both shall live…

[Susanne Kerns she/her @susannekerns]

Before you decide you want to advance to the position above yours, look and see how people in those positions feel. Are they happy in that job?

[Susanne Kerns she/her @susannekerns]

Don’t outsource your decision making.

@PoojaLakshmin at @TXConfWomen #TXConfWomen #selfcare #boundaries

[Susanne Kerns she/her @susannekerns]

Why do we wait until we’re totally wrung out to accept help? Saying yes to help before it feels like you NEED it protects you from burnout.

@PoojaLakshmin at @TXConfWomen #TXConfWomen #selfcare #boundaries

[Susanne Kerns she/her @susannekerns]

The way you accept and decline help is training people how to interact with you.

Practice saying YES - it’s like working out a muscle.

[Susanne Kerns she/her @susannekerns]

On Sunday night, look at your calendar for the week and notice where you feel dread. That’s an opportunity for a boundary.

@PoojaLakshmin at @TXConfWomen #TXConfWomen #selfcare #boundaries

[Susanne Kerns she/her @susannekerns]

A boundary is the pause you give yourself to consider and decide 1) yes, 2) no 3) negotiate

[Susanne Kerns she/her @susannekerns]

What can you do today so that 6 months from now you’re closer to being able to say “no”. #boundaries

@PoojaLakshmin at @TXConfWomen #TXConfWomen

[Susanne Kerns she/her @susannekerns]

Boundaries aren’t always a brick wall. They’re usually more like the net around a trampoline, providing safety yet allowing communication both ways.

[MomAndPod @MomAndPod]

Don’t just build a network, leverage it. #careerpivot @TXConfWomen #TXConfWomen

[MomAndPod @MomAndPod]

Near retirement and want to transition without starting at zero? Find your adjacency and know there will be trade offs. #careerpivot @TXConfWomen #TXConfWomen

[MomAndPod @MomAndPod]

Life is about trade offs. For every woman who regrets losing career momentum due to a family related pause there’s a CEO who regrets missing time with their kids. #workingmom #careerpivot @TXConfWomen #TXConfWomen #sahm

[MomAndPod @MomAndPod]

Know the difference between times when you’re in a “tell” situation and a “listen” situation. #careerpivot @TXConfWomen #TXConfWomen

[Susanne Kerns she/her @susannekerns]

One of our favorite things to talk about on @MomAndPod is “career reinvention” so I’m thrilled to be soaking in the wisdom of this panel. @TXConfWomen #TXConfWomen

@UMichAdmissions What's the date for Campus Day in March/April?

[MomAndPod @MomAndPod]

🎧 @TamiHackbarth's new book helps erase the guilt of #selfcare & ensure you have the mental, physical, & emotional resources required to fuel your work. From parenting to activism, and everything in between, you can’t show up if you’re depleted. https://t.co/Kh9NYsOVAG

[MomAndPod @MomAndPod]

Today we're celebrating "6 Degrees of Wendi Aarons" and discussing how whether you're in middle-school or middle-age, it's important to know: 1) who you are, and 2) which people truly get you and support you. https://t.co/dtkPXHhqv4 #middlegrade #bookrelease #booksforkids #humor

[MomAndPod @MomAndPod]

🎧 @Mariaolsen49 opened up about her experience with addiction, recovery, and how both impacted her life as a midlife mom. Her self-revelatory book #50After50 is just one way she is helping other midlife moms forgive themselves and embrace their futures. https://t.co/RA3Uj0ud4I

[MomAndPod @MomAndPod]

@ToadBoats I"m afraid to ask them. 😆

Pro-tip: If your kid comes home from art camp with a taco-stand, they make excellent sponge holders! #artcamp #TeacherAppreciationWeek
